for those of you who know Laura (BAG)

[Cheshire Cat]

Thanks all again!!

spent 7 hours at the worthing a &e last night. it appears ive also broken my collarbone!! theres a lovely crack in it!!! Another 5mg of morphine in yesterday!! The doctor said that ive had a "serious dislocation" and ive ripped all my ligaments, muscles, and most of the rest!! I've also done some nerve damage - meaning ive got pins and needles ALL THE TIME. The doc reckoned it'd be 2 MONTHS at least before it's right again - and ive been signed off for 2 weeks.

I'm in so much pain at the moment though

Feeling v ++ sorry for myself at the mo!!!

How can you do all that, falling off one of these?

They're only 3 feet high....

You're not supposed to make her laugh - it'll hurt!!

Get well soon Laura. Have dislocated my shoulder whilst playing football so i know how much it hurts

 

[Everest]

But what would she rather have? A dislocated shoulder or a baby?

Let's get this into perspective. BAG has been flat on her back, ripped off her tits on morphine, and we are all saying how SORRY we are for her? She will also get some industrial strength painkillers for a while, just to get her through the next three weeks - bugger me, that's a sad old situation to be in!

Sorry Laura, having nipped up north Thurs/Fri for a family wedding, I missed the update.
It's a bit scandalous that the original A&E assessment didn't pick up on the full extent of your injuries but hopefully now you have turned the corner and starting on the road to recovery.
Get well soon.

Damned horses, how can anything stuffed with straw be so hard?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Hey Laura, as you're a nurse and you've made it into your workplace, can you claim your normal pay AND sick pay? Worth the ask

Get Well Soon Laura

 

[Strike]

Hope you have a speedy recovery Laura, sorry just noticed this.

 

[Emily's Mum]

Hope you're feeling better soon Laura, with love from Martin as well xx

Blimey Laura. That sucks, feel better soon.

had exactly the same injury, chipped collar bone and dislocated shoulder sustained whilst unlocking my bike. falling over the top of it whilst drunk so didnt feel the pain. Then rode the thing 4 miles home fairly unaware how bad it was

it was indeed very very painful the next morning and month. took about a month of physio and ultrasound treatment to get it better, so hopefully 2 months is worst case for you

Didn't want to hijack onto Hitony's thread, but how are you feeling now Laura?

Francesca took sympathy with you and fell from her pony and has cracked a few ribs and broken her thumb.
